LESC Scheduling Policy

Temporary Scheduling Restrictions

Since we are a club and need to share resources fairly, it may become nessecary to restrict scheduling from time to time due to resource limitations. We are now in the season where more people want to learn to fly. Due to the limited number of CFIGs and available instruction slots, LESC has established a temporary policy where you may not reserve flight instruction in advance more than once per weekend. However, if no more than 24 hours before hand flight instruction resources are available, then by all means make use of it even if you are alerady scheduled that weekend (we don't want to see our valuable resources going to waste).

This temporary policy will be rescinded when it's deemed adequate flight instruction resources are available for the given student load.

Online Scheduling

Reservations for LESC resources are made available via an online scheduling system located at www.tak-off.com/lakeelsinore. An online tutorial for this system is available at www.soarelsinore.org/docs/OnlineSched.pdf. When using this system, reservations may only be booked in advance for normal operating days. Same day reservations must be made by calling the office at (951) 609-4579 or stop by to check for resource availability.

Multiple Reservations

Since we are a club and need to share resources fairly, LESC has established a policy where you may not reserve the same resource (CFI-G or glider) more than once per day, unless on the same day you want to fly that resource is available, then by all means use it.

Cancellations / No Shows

Members who can’t make thier scheduled reservation will be required to:

  1. If the cancellation is as late as the day of the flight:
    The Member must call the Instructor’s Cell phone (hopefully with some notice). Instructors phone numbers are in the Members Only section of our web site.
  2. If the cancellation is up to the day before the flight:
    The Member must remove themselves from the schedule AND email advising the membership that thier slot will be available (and try to call your CFIG also!).

In the event that a Member misses a reservation without complying with either A or B above, access to the online schedule will be suspended (the Board reserves the right to remove future reservations from the online schedule for repeat offenders) and a fine of $40 will be imposed. $20 will go to the club and $20 will go to any scheduled CFIG. Any funds paid to the club will be used towards paying the fines first. In other words, if a fine is outstanding and dues are paid, the first $40 will go towards the fine and the $10 balance will go towards dues.
